Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium ear of sweet corn, husk intact
  • A pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Notes

While the microwave method is relatively simple, a few tips can take it over the top:
- Select Fresh Corn: Always choose corn that's recently harvested. Freshness guarantees flavor and sweetness.
- Adjustment for Power: If your microwave is particularly powerful or weak, adjust the time accordingly. The goal is tender, sweet kernels.
- Add Water: For extra moisture, you can place a bowl of water in the microwave along with the corn. It’ll create steam that can elevate cooking.
- Cut in Half: If you have a smaller microwave, you can cut the corn in half to fit better. This won't affect the flavor significantly.
- Experiment with Seasoning: Don’t stop at smoked paprika; try herbs, garlic powder, or even cheese once it’s cooked.
